As THE MAN himself said on July 8/2000 backstage at Mariposa to moi- " can you believe they wouldn't let us perform at the first Mariposa because we sounded "too much like the Everly Brothers!" He then proceeded to tell us ( 5 people) that he couldn't understand why - with that little grin and twinkle in his eye - and then sang several lines of "Wake Up Little Susie!" "We did several Everley tunes in our repertoire - that didn't help!"
all said wth a geniality and assuredness that singular success can bring. Way to go Gord!!
Gord was at Dylans concert here in Toronto last night.
The one song I have ever heard him say he enjoys doing every concert night - MY fave - Beautiful! HELLO Gord!!!! I believe!!!!
